Pros

Growing, green energy company. Mostly enthusiastic employees at the entry level and next level up management. Reasonable compensation if you are a high level performer

Cons

Compensation - Delay in payment for sales personnel is unsatisfactory. No 401 match. Company constantly "moves the goalposts" in the incentive program. Personnel - Lower management and some upper management are so young they have little supervisory experience and it unfortunately shows. Upper management is only interested in management and has little experience and refining the companies policy and procedures. Policies and Procedures - Constant movement of the goalposts. Sales policies and procedures are inconsistent and often unobtainable. Policies are in place throughout the country as if the whole country was the "constant" sunshine of Arizona or Southern California and obviously that is just not the case.

Pros

Just to quantify my review a bit, I am within the top 10% of inside sales reps within our 12,000 person company. It is a great place to work and people doing well ARE able to make good money here. The executive team ALWAYS has a platform for reps to help make SolarCity a better place every quarter. They involve the top 20 reps each quarter in various ways to help their peers through an interactive group called Team Elite. Executives, VP's, Directors, and Managers are always willing to help and go to bat when there are issues with things that need to be fixed. The direction of the company is consistent and although the company is large, decision makers work as hard as possible to steer the big ship quickly when necessary.

Cons

Knee jerk reactions with decision making at a director level create issues from time to time. Culture has had its ups and downs due to HUGE growth last year and subsequent high attrition rates.
